R22 REFRIGERANT GAS – 13.6 KG
R22 refrigerant gas is one of the most commonly used cooling gases in Kenya and East Africa, especially for domestic fridges, chest freezers, commercial coolers, and older HVAC systems. Many homes, supermarkets, butcheries, hotels, and cold room installations still rely on equipment originally designed to operate on R22; as a result, technicians and installers continue to use R22 for refilling, repairs, and system maintenance.
R22 is known for its strong cooling capacity, stable operating pressure, and reliable performance under a wide range of temperatures. It works exceptionally well in warm climates, making it highly suitable for the Kenyan environment, where ambient heat often affects cooling efficiency. In addition, it delivers consistent results in both low- and medium-temperature refrigeration systems.
Our R22 refrigerant is packaged in a secure 13.6 kg high-pressure steel cylinder. Each cylinder contains high-purity refrigerant, ensuring smooth flow, stable pressure, and maximum cooling performance during installation or servicing. Because of its compatibility with a large number of existing refrigeration units in Kenya, R22 remains an essential gas for technicians, cold room contractors, and appliance repair specialists.

Importance of R22 in Kenya
Although newer refrigerants exist, R22 continues to play an important role because:
-
A large percentage of Kenyan cooling equipment was built to run on R22
-
It provides stable cooling even in high-temperature climates
-
It supports older systems without needing expensive upgrades
-
It is reliable for both residential and commercial refrigeration
-
It helps extend the lifespan of legacy refrigeration units
Because many businesses still rely on R22-based systems, technicians require a reliable source for high-purity R22. Furthermore, using high-quality R22 minimises compressor strain, reduces breakdowns, and improves overall cooling efficiency.
